At what critical tolerance in investment casting does surface porosity significantly increase, affecting part strength?

💡 Explanation

Increased porosity arises from mushy zone solidification shrinkage because the alloy's reduced fluidity cannot compensate for volume contraction during phase change; therefore, porosity concentrates there, rather than through grain boundary effects under equilibrium or dendrite coherence at lower cooling rates.
